I took my cousin, sister and her (then) husband to the Thomas Edison Winter Estate in Fort Myers Florida, off McGregor Blvd., To take video of the phonograph museum for my cousins husband who collects them. About 2/3 of the way through the video my sister and her Ex came up behind me and started doing their Steve Urkel impersonations. Goofballs!

  • Great stuff, I visited there years ago and hope to get back.

    Just don't let Mr. Edison hear you calling his phonographs "Victrolas" :-) "Victrola" was the brand name of the Victor Talking Machine Company (later bought out by RCA), Edison's rival in sound recording and playback!

  • Thanks a lot for the comment! Have a great day!

  • We are at a time in history 100 years down the the track where the excitement of Henry Ford and his Motor Car, Thomas Edison and his wonderful inventions that paved the development of the 20th Century has been reinstalled into the hearts and minds of those engaged in the development of

    technology passing into the 21st Century.

  • Thanks for commenting!

  • We used to live in Ft Myers. I have been in the Edison and Ford homes more times than I can count. I LOVE that place. I remember when edison's Laboratory burnt down in the late 70s. That was a drag. Is that one light bulb still burning?

  • I took this video a few years ago, but as far as I know the buld is still burning. Thanks for commenting!

  • Always wanted to go there , my start with the edison phenomenon started on a 3rd grade class trip to the west orange factory in 1968 , now 42 years later i,ve read all the important books on thomas edison ,have rebuilt to a factory finish 7 of the the home model machines and collect edison memorabilia,

    Living in new jersey near the edison factory ,everyone should atleast see it once and pay tribute to the man that gave the world his inventions and the things that we take for granted everyday!

  • Your welcome -

  • Oh wow, that's pretty cool. I've been to the museum near you too. I lived in NJ for a while, Morris County, Roxbury Township. I like his Home in NJ better because of the Lab and his Office/Library. I was really impressed with the library most. Have a good one!
